Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Vengeful Spirit wins the Grimstroke vs Vengeful Spirit matchup: Vengeful Spirit beats Grimstroke in 54.75% of 1,359 ranked matches.
It seems like catching two heroes with Soulbind would be the perfect kill setup, but Vengeful Spirit consistently foils that plan. A single Nether Swap on a bound ally instantly breaks the leash, often leaving Grimstroke’s team overextended after committing spells to a target who is suddenly gone. This forces Grimstroke to rely more on Ink Swell for teamfight control. Vengeful Spirit can also use Swap aggressively to isolate Grimstroke himself before he can cast his ultimate. While Grimstroke's laning presence with Stroke of Fate is strong, Vengeful Spirit's ability to undo his most powerful spell gives her a consistent, if small, advantage as the game progresses.
